A quick update...

A good book that pretty accurately reflects our experiences of the African lifestyle, at least here in Malawi. And a recent read that provides a great historical insight on the slave trade, as well as life in Africa.

We went back to the Majete game preserve last week with a friend. This visit yielded a very significant (yes, scary) quantity of elephants that, for my comfort, are just too big and too close! We also witnessed a fairly large number of zebras, which escaped our first visit, and the usual impalas, hippos, monkeys, baboons, waterbucks, and sables.

Another wonderful change was an invitation to dinner one night last week with some representatives from the US Embassy who were traveling with a man from New York presenting information on women empowerment issues. We attended the panel discussion and received the invitation afterward. Also dined with the President of Kamuzu College and a couple of others from Kaye's site.
